Here is the GAP Ad!

So, remember when I was shot for this back in April?

Well, here is the result.

Even though this blog is very personal it feels like it has grown bigger than me.

I used to occasionally post photos of myself, but now I feel much more self-conscious about doing that. However, this is a story that I shared a while ago and this feels like a fitting end on that episode.

AHHHHH! I saw this flipping through a magazine (I forgot which one though. It was Harper's Bazaar, Elle, or some pub. like them) and I said to my sister, I met him at his gallery showing in DC. Lookin' good!

You look fantastic. How wonderful!

You're incredibly handsome, both your natural looks and your style! No need for self-consciousness, just relax and you'll be fabulous! :)

You make Gap look like couture. The ad is fantastic, congratulations! Your blog is such an inspiration to me, it's great to see you get something like this. You deserve it! I can't wait to see it on a page in a magazine!

Not Bogie; more F. Scott; who with your blondness and features you resemble. That era was the best. My dad was born in 1915 and the photos of him at around 17 yrs. old-- wowza. The slicked back hair, the heft of a white shirt that was starched and pressed; the fall of pleated wool pants. It's all gone, the tailoring and the fabric (and the labor to launder, starch, press, etc. which was a "woman" who came to the house). Okay, I'll shut it. Keep up the fabulous work.

So handsome! I wish more American men would aspire to be so classy! In this photo you remind me of the 1940s actor Dana Andrews. Check out the movie "Laura" with Gene Tierney in the lead. Talk about fabulous clothes!

Wonderful! Handsome! Waiting to see this 80 feet tall in Times Square!

Lovely, absolutely lovely - the shirt in my favorite white, the sleeves rolled just so, the bit of pattern at the neck, the glasses peeking out of the pocket, the light falling just like autumn afternoon light on you....mmmmm.....

I'm recently new to your blog, but I visit almost everyday and very glad to see you on the Ad. Great job, as always. Congrats!

Ah, you dared to be different with the addition of the scar which, to me, epitomizes the kind of individualistic sensibility that is prevalent in the photos you present to us each day on this blog. Thanks and Congrats!

You are so fine! Very old Hollywood! You need to post your own style too. I love the scarf. The whole image looks very clean and yet, sophisticated.

I love this shot...very elegant...nothing like an elegant man to make one's day...I hope someone would capture me in such a lovely way...you should display this proudly and confidently...more gentleman could certainly use such an example!!

I understand about being self-conscious, but this photo is so nice it is definitely worth showing, it has something of a classic Hollywood portrait... and of course you give that GAP shirt a whole lot of style!

ok ok ok, you photograph people daily and your work is brilliant since you can see the perfectionist aspect in your comeout. So what I am trying to say is, this really is a great shot and you look memorable like all your shots. So be proud of being on the other end of the lens. I am happy you posted it for us to all see you.

that's an amazing shot of you! very glad to see a face to this fantastic blog. i'm a huge fan, just like everyone on blogsphere! you are a very good looking fella, you shouldn't feel self-conscious at all!

This is truly a great ad. I must say, never on this site have you ever come across as self conscious, so don't worry about that. You seem humble and that's just one of the things that makes you loveable. Keep up the good work.

You look good. No doubt about it. But Gap kind of sucks don't you think?

Stunning! my first thought was 'Filmstar!' . What a great picture - you must be so proud. Your's is the only blog I follow and I love it, it's constantly inspiring and stimulating and has some of he best fashion and style photographs in circulation. Congratulations!

Nice! True style comes from within and not through expensive garments.

You always look tense when you're photographed; perversely this is the opposite of the defining emotion of your photography - whatever they're wearing, the people you picture completely possess their style hence their person. However, if only someone had just made you laugh at this moment, I think you'd have achieved your personal style apotheosis: reminiscent of Fred Astaire! Your blog is the only thing in the world which makes me interested in fashion. Good night and good luck.

Dear Mr. Schuman, You look wonderful & perfect. Your blog is the one I daily check.You keep me inspired - really, your photos are a great source of inspiration. Please keep up the excellent work!No need for self-consciousness, this is a beautiful shot!

I didn't expect such a classic view but I must admit you're absolutly georgous.

Well done.

Sart, baby, you give good tips on dress when you post pictures of yourself...you have to continue posting about yourself since the regulars like the update and the newbies wanna know who the stylish guy is that puts this blog together. You set the bar and you have a clean approach to this work, this blog would feel different with a different author. No, it might be large, but it hums "Scott Schuman"

Mr.Sartorialist: I totally understand, as daily readers we don't realize that millions read your blog. You should get a counter. Another point...We post comments anonymous, not because we don't have blogs, its because we don't want you see how many times we visit and comment. Because we love you so much, we don't want you to mistake admiration for stalking and go deeper into your shell and become unapprochable. Don't be surprised when people begin follwing you and asking you for your autograph. What will we do when a major publication or designer takes you and forbid you from walking the streets freely. People:Pick up a copy of Vanity Fair with Carla Bruni on the cover and you will have a copy of the ad.

you are truly HOT. You should definitely post more pictures of yourself. You're an inspiration, is it true you had no formal photography training? I'm going to move to New York and become a photographer...:)

I'd definitely do you, if you were so inclined! Congratulations on the ad, now you just have to get a couple more corporate sponsors (besides Gucci) for the blog, right? Keep up the good work! Jorge from W Palm Beach

wow, amazing! you have a natural & matchless elegance, the photo is gorgeous! on a side note, that is a great adv campaign & idea from The Gap. Maybe they are the first to use a blogger for a fashion adv? Congrats once again, you are grandiose!

wow this is a hot picture of you mr.schuman! congratulations on everything!

Congratulations on the lovely portrait -- it's classic and nothing to be self-conscious about. I have been a devoted reader of your blog for years, and I have enjoyed seeing each milestone (especially those windows at Saks a couple of years ago!) Keep doing what you do -- you have a special place in the fashion world!
